joined his fifth NFL organization on Tuesday when the Carolina Panthers signed the former Alabama wide receiver for their practice squad.

Each NFL team has a 10-member group that practices with the team but cannot play in games. Only the 53 men on the active roster can play in games.

White had been released on Sept. 1 when the Denver Broncos reduced their 90-player preseason roster to the regular-season limit.

White went to training camp this year with the Houston Texans. After White was released by the Texans on Aug. 13, the Broncos claimed him off the NFL waiver wire.

Last year, a groin injury suffered during training camp led to White's eventual release from Houston's injured reserve. The Texans brought White back for their practice squad on Nov. 29, and he joined the active roster on Dec. 5. He played in two games, caught a 24-yard pass and returned four punts in 2017.

White was a member of two BCS national-championship teams at Alabama. Undrafted after finishing at Alabama, White began his NFL career with the San Francisco 49ers. He played in four games in the 2015 season, when he caught two passes for 18 yards and returned six kickoffs and one punt for the 49ers.

White earned a Super Bowl ring as a member of the New England Patriots' practice squad in 2016

Practice-squad players are paid a minimum of $7,600 per game week, or $129,200 if they stay on the practice squad for the entire 17-week regular season. They can be paid more. The minimum salary for an NFL player on an active roster is $28,235.29 per game week, or $480,000 if they stay on the active roster for the entire 17-week regular season.

Tuesday's transactions news wasn't as good for two other players with Alabama football roots, including another former Crimson Tide wide receiver. The Washington Redskins placed Cam Sims on injured reserve after he suffered a high ankle sprain in his first NFL game on Sunday.

Former Auburn standout Tray Matthews was waived off injured reserve by the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday.

Matthews went through the offseason program, training camp and preseason after joining the Vikings as an undrafted rookie. Minnesota waived the safety with an injury designation on Sept. 1 when the Vikings reduced their preseason roster to the regular-season limit of 53.

When Matthews cleared waivers, he reverted to Minnesota's injured reserve. This time, Vikings waived Matthews with an injury settlement.

Had Matthews stayed on IR, he would have had to miss the entire 2018 season. By being released, he'll be eligible to return to the NFL as a free agent when he overcomes his injury, which has not been disclosed.
